About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his package, a regular noticed something odd: every time he arrived around sunset, the mailboxes in front of The UPS Store seemed to sway slightly as if blown by an invisible wind. Finally curious, our regular asked the delivery driver why the boxes moved only at dusk. With a knowing smile, the driver whispered, ‘That’s just Mr. Windy, our evening breeze.’ The next day, when the regular returned, he found Mr. Windy—a friendly neighborhood cat—sitting on top of one mailbox, watching over everyone with a sleepy purr.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one afternoon with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, he whispered to himself, ‘I hope they don’t notice what’s inside.’ Finally reaching the counter, he handed over the package and asked nervously, 'Can you please keep it a secret?' The clerk raised an eyebrow but nodded. Later that evening, a regular customer picked up his usual envelope. Inside was a note: "Dear Mr. Smith, your package is delayed due to extreme cuteness overload." Everyone had a good laugh when they found out.

3. A regular walked into The UPS Store one day, carrying a large box under his arm. As he approached the counter, he noticed something peculiar: the store’s sign seemed to be winking at him. He stopped and rubbed his eyes, thinking it was just a trick of the light. But no—each time he blinked, the sign gave him an enthusiastic nod. Confused but intrigued, our regular asked the clerk if their sign had suddenly developed a personality disorder. With a straight face, the clerk replied, 'Nope, it's just been having a good day.'

4. One day, after school, a little girl entered The UPS Store and asked the clerk, ‘Why do all those packages look so happy?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Because each package is on its way to someone who loves it.' Just then, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, 'Hey everyone! Guess what? I just delivered a box of cookies to my neighbor!' And they all laughed, realizing that happiness can come in many shapes—even in boxes.
